May 16, 2014|By Craig Davis, Sun Sentinel

Although the Eastern Conference finals delivered the anticipated Heat-Pacers rematch, the anticipation isn't reflected on the secondary ticket market.

As of Friday afternoon, ticket demand appeared to be down as the average resale price of $375 was off 24 percent from last year's series, according to ticket reseller Razorgator.com, with Game 1 at Indiana averaging a series low of $204.79.

Tickets for the three games possible in Miami are averaging $532, which is 9.5 percent less than in 2013.

"We see this often with 'repeat' action – fans have already seen the matchup … and it's not new and shiny to them," said Christi Goza of Razorgator.

Prices are up 38 percent in the Western Conference finals, which have different match-up: Spurs vs. Thunder.
